I read a negative review about the renovations going on to the reception area and contacted the hotel prior to our stay, they were very understanding and reassured me that it wouldn't affect the stay , and it didn't. Yes the reception is being revamped, and the entrance area is not particularly inviting at present, but past that and into the hotel area it was spectacular and so tranquil and at no point did we hear anything or notice anything in respect of the work. To top it all off the staff were incredible, the balinese people are beautiful and put a lot of us Europeans to shame, they are polite , respectful and genuine and I thank them for making my stay so special,
